knickers, lesbians and methodists
another group of theists seems to have their knickers in a twist. conservative members of the united methodist church warned today that the decision to allow an openly gay woman to remain a minister in the church may tear apart the nation's third-largest christian denomination. oh, how i hope so since it only serves to showcase the hypocrisy of the entire clerical establishment throughout all creeds.a united methodist clergy jury ruled unanimously saturday that karen dammann may remain a minister and stay in a lesbian relationship, despite a church law that declares homosexuality incompatible with christian teachings.
the controversy over this lesbian, who has been a united methodist pastor for a decade, marks the second time in a year that conflict over openly gay clergy threatens to tear apart a major christian denomination in the united states.
